Bomar “went to Mexico for vacation and he has been in an accident. All we know is that he has a severe head injury. He has had surgery but is not doing well and needs to be flown back to the U.S. His family is trying to raise money to get him home ASAP. They will not release him until all his bills are paid in full.”

The e-mail links to a GoFundMe page with a goal of $100,000. A supporter named Cindi Jackson updated the page to say that Lee has made it home, but still needs help.

“The issue now is that he is coming home to an impending surgery (likely immediately), and likely long hospitalization and even longer rehabilitation in a facility,” she wrote. “Overnight the brain bleed got worse and a surgery in the US became urgent. It will be a long road with bad insurance.”

As of Friday afternoon, 690 people had given $48,285 to the cause. Donate here.

For the last few years, Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub has acted as a venue for The Denver Post annual summer celebration of live music, The UMS.

The long-awaited exhibition will feature artifacts, stories and perspective on the historical role of brewing in Colorado's fortunes, from Adolph Coors' first experiments to (relative) upstarts and current titans such as New Belgium Brewing.
